The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

It feels like commanding a tiny toy army against cartoon bugs with the ability to jump into a first-person view for personal ant extermination.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a fun nostalgic romp with plastic army men, others call it unplayable due to clunky UI, no tutorial, and brutal difficulty where ants easily crush your troops. Complaints also mention AI-generated pictures and slow updates.
